[Dev-C++] strfmon

[Zvi S. <zvi...@ve...>]

Hi.
Can someone tell me why the strfmon() function, listed in the GNU C =
library,
is not found in dev-cpp. =20
The manual page is at
http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Formatting-Numbers.html=
#Formatting%20Numbers
yet it doesnt appear in any of the dev-cpp header files, nor is it in =
any of the libraries.

Because the function isn't part of the ANSI standard. It is part of XPG/4
and SUSv2. Because of the different locale handling in Windows, it might
need some work to port to the Win32 environment.

I understand that strfmon() is not part of the ANSI standard, but
I was assuming that dev-cpp contains the full port of the
GNU gcc compiler as well as the GNU C library.
Are there any other parts of the library that are not present
in the dev-cpp implementation?  Is there a complete port
of the GNU C library to win32 somewhere else?

Dev-C++ is only an IDE. The compiler used is MinGW,
and it IS the official GCC for Windows. Your question
about strfmon() should go to MinGW's mailing list
(there they'll be able to tell why there's no such
function in MinGW).

Regarding the question about parts of the library that
are not present, of course, there are a lot of things
that can't be done in a native Win32 environment.
There are issues with signals, pipes, sockets, files,
threads, etc. MinGW tries to rely on the native Win32
support; Cygwin OTOH tries to emulate a *nix
environment (with a big DLL and a 'magic' directory
strcuture) so it usually has better support for *nix
libraries.
If you want to create a cross-platform app to run on
Windows, better use a cross-platform library instead
if possible.
